Interesting. I went to look it up because I thought you were wrong. You can get the Amazon Appstore on non-Amazon android devices, but it seems you are correct about AIV. Wonder if its a DRM issue, or other hardware security issue for Andro

This is a valid point, and I suppose you could look at it as lock-in. Amazon of course would see customers simply choosing the better deal. Its what they do, after all. Looking at it the other way, Amazon could build 20 teams to maintain th

I would agree if we were considering GPA as the strongest leading indicator of a good hire. This seems like a straw man argument because its not what I said. I would assume that arrogance, ego, and inability to adapt and learn comes out dur

Blatantly false. I have a Sony Blu Ray player that has Amazon Instant Video on it and I use it along with Hulu and Netflix. If this thing played Blu Rays, I could dump my DVD player, my XBOX 360 (my wife and I mostly only play casual games

As a hiring manager, I actually care about your GPA. There is some self-selection with those that have a 3.9+. It means they cared about the topic, they went to class consistently, and they performed well during tests (under pressure). I&#x

Unit tests? You mean functional api level load testing?

This. I also would rather just grab it in the browser instead of having to run a server or something else.

I agree, this has to be a joke. I swore Mixpanel held pride in how easy their product was to use. This communicates the opposite.

This is very well done.

There are multiple internal tools I use at work (JIRA, our ticketing system, our code review tool) that won't work because of this issue. In the meantime, I've written Tampermonkey scripts that will scrape and embedd multiple page

This is cool. Can I use it locally on internal sites too?

This is nice in theory, but the masses (aka mobile game players) have mental space for three game types: free, paid, and scammy/clone/ripoff. You will put a sizable dev effort into a 5.99 IA purchase that statically will not sell

Well articulated. However, I feel that Mark is committed to making the hardware amazing. The point is to get it into every home as an appliance, almost as if it was the new "phone". Facebook mission is to make the world more open

R/technology, like any subreddit, is controlled by those who got there first, or subverted it. Following this line of reasoning, people would be mad if Tesla wasn't covered by technology.com. reddits themselves are like websites,

AWS knows the clients that are connecting to it. All they have to detect is that a large amount of traffic is coming from a wide distribution of mobile devices. This is indicative they embedded the creds into the APK. If they got the creds

It could have raised alarms and then personally investigated. You Could monitor distribution of AWS connections per client. You could easily determine that accessing the same account from many android devices is probably result of poor secu

Conjecture, and I guess you're welcome? My guess is if you embedded your Google cloud credentials in your app and it was compromised Google would be happy to bill you, terminate your account, or otherwise provide zero latitude as a cus

Great way of putting it. IMO, the original developer's mistake was the "build it and they will come" strategy. Even if you built the perfect game, the "cloners" hussled more to get people to play their game, and got

The way I do it is try to envision the dumbest, most impatient, penny-pinching DICK HEAD out there possible, and make him happy. Any of the following statements destroy customer experience: - "The customer should understand that at thi

Yeah, at Amazon they wouldn't tolerate that forever...

It means Bezos can't entirely relate to the AWS customer (which isn't retail, but a developer or technical organization), or fixing it isn't nearly as easy? That's a loaded accusation, but its the best I can come up with

Which is not a viewpoint from someone who "likes" it. They have an objective, professional point of view. He doesn't like it though.

If you blame management every time, you'll never take responsibility for your own actions.

No, pretty sure he was being demeaning to the point no developer would read this and want to work in java.
